Your osCommerce to CSV Export Process in Detail

Migrating your osCommerce data to a CSV file with Cart2Cart is a streamlined process designed for accuracy and ease. Follow these simple steps to export your store's valuable information:

  1. Connect Your osCommerce Store

    First, you'll connect your existing osCommerce store to our migration wizard. For osCommerce, this is typically done by uploading the Cart2Cart Connection Bridge files to your store's root directory via FTP/SFTP. This establishes a secure link for data extraction.

Below it, the three steps for uploading the connection bridge are expanded: '1. Download and unpack connection_bridge.zip' with a 'Download Bridge' button, '2. Upload 'bridge2cart' folder to your store's root (catalog)' with a 'Read instructions' link, and '3. Click Next step'.

  2. Select Data for Export

    Next, choose the specific data entities you wish to export from your osCommerce store. You have granular control to select items like products, customers, orders, categories, and more, ensuring only the necessary information is included in your CSV files.

  3. Configure Export Options

    Tailor your data export with additional options. For instance, you can choose to migrate images embedded within product, category, and blog post descriptions, ensuring your visual content is fully accounted for in the export process.

It lists various options like 'Create 301 redirects', 'Preserve order IDs', 'Migrate categories and products SEO URLs', each with a price, 'Watch' video link, and 'Recommended' tag for some. A right sidebar provides an 'Instruction' explaining the purpose of preserving links for SEO. The subtotal and total price are displayed at the bottom.

  4. Run Demo Export & Review

    Before a full export, we highly recommend running a free demo export. This transfers a limited subset of your osCommerce data to a CSV file, allowing you to review the format and accuracy of the exported information. You can then verify that everything is transferred correctly before proceeding.

  5. Perform Full Data Export & Download

    Once you're satisfied with the demo results, initiate the full data export. Cart2Cart will process all your selected osCommerce data and generate comprehensive CSV files, which you can then download directly to your computer. These files will contain all your chosen store entities, ready for import into your new platform or for archival purposes.

Below these are expandable sections for previewing entities. A right sidebar provides instructions for checking migrated fields and a video link titled 'HOW TO CHECK THE RESULT OF THE DEMO MIGRATION'.

Data You Can Export from osCommerce to CSV File

Cart2Cart supports the comprehensive export of various data entities from your osCommerce store to a CSV file. This includes:

  • Customer Groups: Export your customer segmentation for targeted marketing and management.
  • Customers: All customer profiles, including contact details and associated information.
  • Manufacturers: Information about product manufacturers.
  • Orders: Complete order history, including product details, customer information, and order statuses.
  • Orders Status: The various statuses associated with your orders.
  • Product Categories: Your entire product category hierarchy.
  • Products: All product details, including names, descriptions, prices, SKUs, and more.
  • Reviews: Customer reviews associated with your products.
  • Stores: Data related to your store setup (if applicable for multi-store osCommerce).
  • Taxes: Tax configurations and rates.

Additionally, Cart2Cart supports the export of data in Multiple Languages, ensuring your international store content is preserved.

Additional Export Options for osCommerce to CSV

To further customize your osCommerce data export to CSV, Cart2Cart offers specific options:

  • Migrate Images in Description: This option ensures that all images embedded within your product descriptions, category descriptions, and blog posts descriptions are identified and referenced correctly in your exported data, or downloaded alongside the CSV.

Please note: Options such as 'Clear Target', 'Preserve IDs' (for categories, customers, orders, products), and 'Product Change Quantity' are typically relevant for migrations to a live target store where data is being imported and manipulated. When exporting to a CSV file, the data is extracted as-is, making these options not directly applicable to the export process itself.

Frequently Asked Questions about osCommerce to CSV Export

How long does an osCommerce to CSV export take?

This app performs greatly

This app performs greatly. The service is very reliable and the support is superb. The service is quite costly for me but in the end, it's worth its money. There is also an automated shopping cart migration and I'm very happy about that! I'm really satisfied.
